Front

Which law states that the acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on it and its mass?

Back

2nd Law

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's 1st Law?

Back

An unbalanced force is applied to the object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law of Motion state?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

If a car accelerates, what happens to the passengers inside?

Back

They feel pushed back into their seats due to inertia.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life?

Back

A book resting on a table will stay at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force.
